I never had really played any RPG board games before but was always intrigued by them. I grew up loving D&D and later RPG videogames (like Syrim and Dragon Age Inquisition) but always had that itch for a dungeon crawl boardgame. I couple of days ago I decided to look around, google the top boardgames and search Amazon. I stumbled upon Descent and it seems right up my alley. The only board game I have is Firefly and played that a few times. Since my wife really didn't want to play that I'm hoping I can blackmail her to play this.

I picked up the 2nd edition for $60 and printed up the rules for all of the expansions so I can read up while I wait for it to arrive. My questions are two-fold:

1. Seeing as the wife is tepid about boardgames, and I want her to enter "my" world, will it be terribly difficult for her to learn and would it be best for her to be Overlord or the heroes?

2. What order of expansions would I get next when I get to that point?
Lair then Labrynth then Trollfens?

Anyway, I'll keep an eye on the boards and am excited to jump in to the Descent world.
